Come on Road Glide Ultra Limited with a 110 or better next year and I'm dumping my 2014 Limited which has not been the best bike I've ever owned or ridden. Not even close.
I think the 110 becomes standard on touring models in 17, 120 on CVO. liquid cooled becomes standard also. I think the 110 should be liquid cooled with that size of a motor. just too much heat. IMO Harley has to go bigger to keep up with the victory and indian motors. victory has a 106 and its a damn good motor. indian 111 and its pretty strong too. you have to love displacement wars.
I've had a CVO 110. It was a dog and it ran hot. 103 is the sweet spot for the Twinkie.
I thought I was in the minority on this. that 103 HO motor is the reason I bought my first Harley last year. That motor is awesome. not so much for the 110 that I test rode.
Indians and Victorys,,, bigger motor........still cant sell them....... i could not feel the diffrence from a test ride 110 and my 96......now i have the 103 HO in the king and i dont want for power....if i did i could get all i needed for 3k
This is my first Harley, and don't expect them to go very fast compared to what I normally rode in the past, but my new 110 goes pretty good. Certainly not a dog like some would wrongly proclaim.

I borrowed a friends spare bike (2014 SE road king) for a weekend while I loaned another friend who is currently bikeless my 16 RGU. We took a weekend trip through the Ozarks and up to Branson from Tulsa.
I learned 2 things
1) I did not like the 110 in his king as much as i like the twin cooled HO 103 in my rgu. Both are bone stock.
2) The SE110 in my wife's CVO fatbob is definitely not stock. There is a world of difference in the 2 110's
